Homemade Summer Facial to rejuvenate your skin

Summer is at it's peak and you are desperately seeking measures to stay cool. But despite adequate precautions, and care, your skin never looks the same. The scorching rays of the sun, somehow, manage to wreck your skin. Now your skin isn't exactly sunburnt,  dehydrated or horribly tanned, but it looks a bit dull, lifeless and patchy. A luxurious pampering session at a spa will works wonders but it will be a burden on your already strained purse. So, for an awesome summer-glowing skin, a better idea is to treat yourself with homemade masks and scrubs made with inexpensive ingredients from your kitchen. This particular homemade facial mask / scrub too will make you look and feel better than ever.
Simple Homemade Summer Facial
Ingredients:honey-strawberry-cornmeal-or-sooji-scrub
Method:
Mix all the ingredients really well, and apply it on your already clean, wet face, avoiding the undereye area. Let it stay for around 3 minutes. Then gently scrub the mask onto your facial skin with your fingers using circular movements to exfoliate. Then with a wash cloth dipped in warm water gently remove the mask and finish off by splashing cool water on your face.

    mix a little sugar and honey together and put it on you face and massage it in. Rinse in warm water. The sugar is an exfoliate and the honey re hydrates. Its sticky but all natural and wonderful

    Another method is to massage the face with the skin of lemon before washing with lukewarm water.

    all that you would need is to even up ur tone by a facial toner; try VMV hypoallergenics skin products they are so good!!! and also use sunblock for that healthy glowing skin. Using a sun protection doesn't mean it would make Ur skin lighter, it is to prevent the sun from damaging ur skin and cause it to have uneven tone and have a rough texture.also try to use a bronzer to add the glow on your skin. ^_^

It can be caused by any one of more than 200 viruses. Normally it is confined to the nose and throat although the virus can infect the larynx and lungs. It is said that there is no particular cure for colds, they are naturally relieved within a week. Treatment is just an attempt to relieve its symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore-throat and congestion. Paracetamol tablets are generally taken to get relief from these symptoms.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.
